Abstract
The PhD topic we propose concerns devising algorithms and a platform for efficient cloud-based Web data stores, in particular focusing on XML (structured documents) and RDF (semantics and knowledge) data. It has been by now widely accepted that a huge fraction of the world’s interesting data is either shared through the Web (data-rich Web sites such as organization and product catalogs…) or directly produced through and for Web platforms (social media sites, RSS and tweets, blogs, online publications,…) Many organizations now recognize the value of the trove of Web data and the need for scalable platforms to manage it.
We plan to research and build a single check-point data management application, where users will be able to upload, query, update, and reason about the data all the while it is remotely stored and managed in a cloud platform, taking advantage of its elasticity and reliability features.
